Jozankei and the Hoheikyo valley turn red and gold in early to mid-October, close enough to Sapporo for a half-day. The cosmos fields at Takino peak a little earlier, from mid-September, so a late-September trip can catch the tail of one and the start of the other.
See Sapporo’s Great Buddha, autumn cosmos, countryside Genghis Khan barbecue, and Jozankei foliage on a guided full-day trip.
